O’Connell’s Blooming 8th Grade

Help me give my students a great start to the new year. The materials will help to keep a clean and productive work environment. These supplies will support my 8th grade classroom with hands on activities and learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. O'Connell's classroom raised $809

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My classroom is a positive environment for learning and with materials it will keep the clean and healthy. Students will have what they need for interactive and hands on learning. My school does not provide textbooks so the need for interactive learning and pencil and paper activities are important. The more my students write and complete hands on activities they better they recall the information taught. With your donations I will be able to provide a successful learning environment. I appreciate any donation that will help support the growth of my students and classroom.
